Identification of a novel prognostic signature correlated with epithelial-mesenchymal transition, N6-methyladenosine modification, and immune infiltration in colorectal cancer.
Article in Cancer medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveColorectal cancer (CRC) is a commonly diagnosed human malignancy worldwide. Both epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification play a crucial role in CRC development. This study aimed to construct a prognostic signature based on the genes related to EMT and m6A modification.
methodFirstly, the mRNA expression profiling of CRC tissues was analyzed using TCGA and GEO databases. The prognostic hub genes related to EMT and m6A modification were selected using weighted correlation network and cox regression analysis. The prognostic signature was constructed based on hub genes, followed by validation in three external cohorts. Finally, the expression of the representative hub gene was detected in clinical samples, and its biological role was investigated using assays in vivo and in vitro.
resultsA prognostic signature was constructed using the following genes: YAP1, FAM3C, NUBPL, GLO1, JARID2, NFKB1, CDKN1B, HOOK1, and GIPC2. The signature effectively stratified the clinical outcome of CRC patients in the training cohort and two validation cohorts. The subgroup analysis demonstrated the signature could identify high-risk population from CRC patients within stage I-II or III-IV, female, male and elder patients. The signature was correlated with the infiltration of some immune cells (such as macrophage and regulatory T cells) and gene mutation counts. Finally, the hub gene GIPC2 was found to be downregulated in CRC tissues and most CRC cells lines. GIPC2 overexpression inhibited the malignant characteristics of CRC cells in vitro and in vivo through upregulating E-cadherin and downregulating N-cadherin, Vimentin, and Snail, while the opposite results were observed for GIPC2 knockdown in CRC cells.
conclusionOur present study for the first time constructed a novel prognostic signature related to EMT, m6A modification, and immune infiltration for CRC risk stratification. In addition, GIPC2 is identified as a promising clinical biomarker or therapeutical target for CRC.
